Around five years ago, Lucasfilm first announced plans for a \u201cRogue Squadron\u201d film \u2013 complete with a video of filmmaker Patty Jenkins and a life-sized X-Wing.<\/p>\n

Of course, it wasn\u2019t meant to be with the project seemingly stalled for years (and briefly cancelled in 2023), and Jenkins exiting to work on a \u201cWonder Woman 3\u201d project that was scuttled prior to the Gunn-Safran DC Studios takeover.<\/p>\n

Late last year, rumours swirled that the project was being re-developed as a potential live-action TV series. Yet when Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy exited her post the other week, various \u201cStar Wars\u201d projects in development were discussed in her exit interview and \u201cRogue Squadron\u201d wasn\u2019t mentioned.<\/p>\n

Matthew Robinson, the writer on that originally announced \u201cRogue Squadron\u201d film, recently spoke with Polygon<\/a> and reflected on working the movie and indicates he\u2019s as in the dark regarding its status as everyone else:<\/p>\n

\u201cI had a great time writing it. Patty Jenkins is one of my favorite artists in the world. I think she\u2019s absolutely brilliant. We had a great time working together.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t currently know what Lucasfilm wants to do with it. They\u2019re in a pretty big state of flux at the moment, after Kathleen [Kennedy] leaving, and who knows what the future holds for them theatrically.<\/p>\n

It was a great thrill to write that, and especially to work with Patty, who made it a very personal story. It was very much a movie about fighter pilots. Her father was a fighter pilot.<\/p>\n

It was very personal to her, and we were trying to tell a really great personal story about fighter pilots and Rogue Squadron pilots in the Star Wars universe. I think we did a great job with it, and I really hope one day we get to see a version of that.\u201d<\/p>\n

The \u201cStar Wars\u201d universe is running thin on new live-action series these days, with only \u201cAhsoka\u201d Season 2 coming this year and a Carlton Cuse\/Nick Cuse-produced series in development. The film side does appear to be ramping up though with \u201cThe Mandalorian & Grogu\u201d launching in May and \u201cStar Wars: Starfighter\u201d on the way next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lucasfilm Around five years ago, Lucasfilm first announced plans for a \u201cRogue Squadron\u201d film \u2013 complete with a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":280908,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[63746,146,85,46,397],"class_list":{"0":"post-280907","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-bigslider","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-il","11":"tag-israel","12":"tag-movies"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/280907","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=280907"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/280907\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/280908"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=280907"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=280907"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=280907"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
